Many of the highest quality Japanese tin toys were distributed by the ASAHI Trading Company (ATC) of Taito Ku, Tokyo, but not necessarily manufactured by the ASAHI Trading Company. For example, as can be seen in the original box photo of this POLIZEI VW Bus, there is the ASAHI name and logo. There is also another logo on the box representing the manufacturer of TSUBAME TOYS (swallow bird silhouette), Tokyo, Japan.

Tin trim pieces include the windshield with plastic insert, VW front emblem, headlights, taillights, door handles and front and rear bumpers.
