Subject: Restoring Bronze Bell

Our Old Bronze Door Bell (hand operated) fractured during vigorous 
ringing recently.  Actually the lever that held the bell broke at its 
weakest point. 

What is the simplest way to rejoin it?
	super glue did not work
	silver solder did not work
I would like to strengthen the lever at the point it broke.  If possible 
lay down more metal on the old cast part where it broke.

Appreciate any suggestions to this novice.
