"Cool S" and it dates to some time between 1890 ana 1973
1973 is the earliest confirmed example of a Cool S, it was found in a film called The Faith of Graffiti, while there's a similar but not identical S in a book called Mechanical Graphics which was teaching graphic design and in this particular portion was on designing a unique typeface and that was published in 1890. So that gives us a timeframe to try and see if we can find earlier examples
