Here is some Hahn stuff I have/used.

I can see the wood where the paint has peeled and in the tearout of his hook holes and I think white cedar is a good bet.......the cheap new growth stuff rather than the special tight grained old growth stuff CCBC and Bob Pond used.

He used spinner blades to make his lips (Salty sells these already bent).

His plugs where notoriously poorly built. Not sealed, no grommets, steel rather than stainless wires, thick epoxy which peeled quickly.
They did, however, fish well and Hahn also was inventive with his colorings. Dave Peros and a friend swore buy Hahn's medium surface swimmer in brown back, silver sides, and yellow belly, for example.

If anyone wants to borrow any of this stuff give a shout.
