I have a seemingly old copy of the Finnish author Aleksis Kivi's (Lived 1834-1872) "Seitsemän Veljestä" (Seven Brothers)("Widely regarded as the first significant novel written in Finnish and by a Finnish-speaking author. Indeed many regard it still today as the greatest Finnish novel ever written.") that I got from my grandpa's house after he died. It's in perfect condition but I can't find any information on what edition or when it was printed on it.

I also have a book dedicated to fallen under-age Finnish "soldiers" in WW1(or 2?) but it's in a really bad shape. I think I've posted pictures of this in a similar thread years ago.

I did in fact find a year on it, I think I just looked it over few times and didn't see it before I put it away. Turns out it's made in 1953, so not as old as I thought. Looking at some used bookstores online a copy from that year that's in slightly worse shape goes for about 20-30 euros.
For the other book I have that's made in 1919, someone in an online auction selling both parts 1 & 2 in what looks like a pretty good condition is asking 35 euros.
Well I got both for free so they're nice to have at least.
