That "rare Chin Tiki letter opener" is actually an equally rare swizzle stick, one of the finest examples of it's genre (Tiki swizzle sticks), and you can appreciate it in red on page 14 of the BOT. I am confident it was not a letter opener, because letter receiving and writing took a waaaay back back seat to cocktail imbibing at the Chin Tiki :P

Whoever got that menu should have one of these, too. It is the same Tiki than on the menu and also on the back of the Chin Tiki postcard and thus qualifies as the Chin Tiki logo Tiki! I have not seen a mug of it, and I was a little dissapointed when I did not find a full scale carving of it in the group photo in that urban explorer thread a couple of weeks ago, but any Tiki reproduced in three different mediums and sculpted at least once (here on the swizzle stick) qualifies for logo Tiki status with me.
