These high quality castings are made of aluminum, and measure 7” from wingtip to wingtip.  On the Third Brake Light, the eyeball has a white lens that’s red when lit, and on the paperweight, the eyeball glows in the dark—just the thing for your desk, shop, or perhaps as a romantic anniversary gift for the wife.
