The ABC stood for the American Bowling Congress, which existed from 1895 until 2005. It was the sanctioning body for men's bowling, and the companion to the WIBC (Women's International Bowling Congress).
In 2005, the separate men's, women's and youth divisions were reorganized and merged into the USBC, the United States Bowling Congress. But older awards, and bowling equipment, might still say "ABC (or ABC/WIBC) Certified."
