The slant "T" type also shows the three bars of the "E" of equal length, whereas the straight "T" shows the "E" with its middle bar shorter than the other two. (Especially so in Floortrader's example.) Is that always so?

Was 19$90 the correct rate for the airmail cover?

I think this cover was uprated by maybe 10 pesos for philatelic reasons because the entire set is on cover.I don't know the exact rates for the 1930's

In 1910, a syndicate including government officials succeeded in getting approval to overprint large quantities of a new definitive issue for use in the sparsely populated Juan Fernandez Islands. This was a speculative issue. In addition to creating stamps for the philatelic market, it would make certain value of the unoverprinted definitive issue more scarce and, therefore, more valuable. The ensuing scandal forced the government to make the overprinted stamps valid for use throughout Chile.
