Creative solution to replace Bell Pull

I have a bell outside of my door.  It came with my house.  I rarely ring it; however, one of my clearest memories from childhood was my mother ringing a bell to call us in from the streets (back when that was safe!) so I'm a bit nostalgic about the bell.

It was pretty unloved when I bought my house...but some new screws and Brasso (which absolutely STINKS by the way) and it was good as new.  I could have certainly just tied a piece of leather to the clapper but I was in a golf ball phase so I did what I have done with several light fixtures and ceiling fans....I drilled a hole in a golf ball, filled it with hot glue, stuck some ball chain into it and voila!
