Mystery table knife

[Metal meddling]

Hello all,

I'm new to the site as a member but have visited in the past to read threads. I found an older table (flatware, dinner) knife stamped " BEST" on the side. I suppose it could read as "REST" but it was found with other objects like a small crotal Bell and several flat buttons I assume from around the mid to late 1800s. I forgot to take a pic but can do so later. Any ideas if the possible age and maker? Thanks

Metal meddling.
