I believe these tags were issued by ABL. This particular one was found on a 1958 Schwinn Corvette.
I also spotted an ABL tag in a bicycle safety film from 1948 called "You And Your Bicycle", which was shot in Oakland, CA.
Anyone else come across these?

Here's mine. My patch looks a lot different from the OP. Mine is from the 60s when I raced amateur level with ABL for the Bakersfield Wheelmen, last picture, me on the right. The shorts still fit + a few moth holes. I almost wore them on the 2016 Eroica, with modern bibs underneath to avoid a wardrobe malfunction. Since it was a humid rainy day, I only wore the modern bibs. The decal is on my old race bike, '64 Legnano that I also rode on the Eroica. I've had it and the decal 53 years, hence the battle scars. I didn't know the ABL was still in business.
