Temascaltepec was a principal office from 1856 to July 11, 1859.
Sultepec came under Toluca, first mentioned in January 1861, but perhaps as early as 1857 or 1858.
The Toluca overprint is approximately 12½ by 2 mm. It's generally nicely struck.
On average, the stamps have normal margins for the issue.
Forgeries from Toluca are not common.
