Actually, I suppose you could argue that the Bagginses were hobbit-nobility. Bilbo was the son of a Took, an 'old money' family. Frodo was part-Brandybuck, and they were also 'very old money'. In an age when snobby women are always banging on about Nouveaux Riches (aka Posh and Becks), and pretty much only the aristocrats pass as old money, i think it's safe to say that the Bagginses were noble.
