Looks like a birdhouse gourd to me. I would let it stay on the vine as long as you can. Even if there is a chance of frost. I’d put a frost blanket over them. And even if the vine dies while they are still green, they can continue to ripen and harden after picking them and bringing them inside to finish.

I’ve seen birdhouses made from this gourd before.
