After lots of research today, I wasnt able to get a definitive answer. I found on line several things which I will share. One was a 1948 issue of Rotary magazine with an ad for the Cookware and Alcoa mentioned.
Then I will tell you my mother had my pots originally and she was married in 1943. Her set came with metal lids and wood knobs, later ones had glass lids.
here is what other sites said
Aluminum Company was originally organized in Chicago in 1923 as the Club Aluminum Utensil Company for the purpose of selling aluminum pots and pans in the home on the "party" plan, much like Tupperware was sold in later years. A severe downturn in sales during the depression put the company into bankruptcy in 1933. Club Aluminum survived the depression and eventually was renamed Club Products; the company was acquired by Standard International Corporation in 1968.

Hope this helps.
