The #22 was called a "Pony Jack."
2-13/16" closed.
Swedge ground clip and a pen blade.
Approx dates, circa the 1950s to about the mid 1980s.
They had yellow plastic handles.

The value would depend on the condition; about $10 in Very Good condition and maybe as much as $25 in mint condition.

Hope this helps,
