I was thinking acorn but they are bigger than all the ones I’m seeing in pictures.There a gourd in with them that’s pretty cool.

Acorn or acorn type. Squash very easily cross pollinated within type and can be highly variable if crossed.

For instance yellow, pattypan, zucchini, acorn, field pumpkin are all C.pepo and freely cross.

I was thinking green hubbard but I'd never seen one with such a skinny stem

Once planted saved seed from a yellow crookneck and got a pale yellowish green zucchini. Never grown zucchini in my life but that crookneck grew next a yellow straightneck.

A friend of mine, Dennis, saved seeds from some acorn and butternut squash, zucchini, gourds and pumpkins that he grew one year and planted them the next. He got some pretty incredible looking fruit in a variety of colors, textures and sizes. The coolest looking ones looked like small, but proportionately tall orange pumpkins with thin fin like flanges, where the sections came together that stood out about 3 inches, from a 4 inch round fruit. The flanges were wide at the base and narrowed as they went up.

I bet if you cut them in half stem to tail, scrape the guts out and place them squash cut side up on a roasting pan, with 3T butter and 3T of brown sugar 1/2 t salt and 1/2 t black pepper in the middle and bake them at 350 for an hour, then scrape all the squash from the shells and mix with the juices out of the middle, you'll be very happy with the results. wink
