Bilbo Baggins knew that his dagger, Sting, was made by the elves by several reasons: 1. It was found with two other swords, which Gandalf and Thorin took, and these had elvish runes on them. 2. Gandalf was wise and learned in this kind of thing and he recognized them. 3. When they brought them to Rivendell, Elrond recognized their make and could read the runes. He told them that they were very old swords of the High Elves of the West, made for Gondolin in the Goblin-wars. Thorin's was Orcrist, or Goblin-cleaver in the ancient tongue of Gondolin, and Gandalf's was Glamdring, or Foe-hammer. Bilbo's dagger was just that, a dagger, but plenty big enough for a hobbit.

Hobbits don't actually exist, so the only thing we have to go on is what Tolkien said: The oldest recorded age for a hobbit prior to Bilbo Baggins was the Old Took, who lived to be 130 years old.

(Since Bilbo and Frodo (and eventually Sam) went to the Undying Lands, technically there's no upper limit, though Bilbo lived the longest of any hobbit in Middle-Earth.)
