Japanese diecast and tinplate toys, including trucks. Various sizes including classic diecast HO.

The acronym AHI also stands for Azrak Hamway International, which was a US company distributing those type toys founded in 1964.

The original Japanese manufacturer's name is Naito Shoten based in Tokyo.  They started up in 1948 and made tinplate toys and robots, and the smaller diecast range called AHI. Mike Pigott (Diecast Collector Sep 2021) reports that they had no connection to AHI in the US.

AHI made different sets of toy vehicles, sold in groups of 12:  Matchbox knock-offs, commercial vehicles, military, American cars, European cars, old timers, etc.
