Pumpkins in colonial times were often used as an ingredient for the crust of the pies, not the filling.

 Stasia McGehee - Creating a Pumpkin in 3DSMax
Since the pumpkin was to have a geometric carved look, using low poly modeling techniques were used to create an efficient model.
To assess the overall look, I deleted the dark facial features, made the multi/sub-object orange pumpkin color into a 2-sided material (to give the pumpkin an inside), and then put a bright omni light in the middle of the pumpkin, emulating candlelight.
Now the pumpkin appears to have an inside shell, but this is only an illusion; the orange pumpkin color comprises a two-sided material, and since there is a bright omni light in the center of the pumpkin, it appears to be a different color.
