The first three numbers are the item number which includes the color. The numbers after the dash is the mold number it was formed in.

PAST THE DASH: MOLD NUMBERS
The number past the dash of a mold number, is a position number on the mold.. for example 109-7 is for a Bell Tumbler, but they dont make one at a time, so the number past the dash is the position number on the mold. They probably mold 12 Bell Tumblers on one pressing, so the are numbered 109-1 to 109-12.. this becomes important to Tupperware if there is a rash of Bell Tumblers returned for a flaw, they can go to that position of the mold, and make tests and repairs as necessary. And with Tupperware's quality control, that usually happens before the product gets to you!
