Yes, I believe these are recently made.
The scrimshaw is not of the type normally produced in the 19th century.
add to this the fact that they have not been finished into a useful article, either blowing horn or powder horn and all we can come up with is modern manufacture.
Mexican horns find their way all over, as many countries do not now have livestock with usable horns, so they may even have been made in your own country. Art-work decidedly modern.
Best wishes,
Richard.
