“S. Hayashi” is likely to stand for Hayashi Shinsuke, an antique business in Kyoto that was family-run from the Meiwa era (1764–72) of the Edo period until after World War II. This late 19th century English-language shop sign evidences the increase in foreign visitors to Kyoto after the opening of the country in the Meiji period (1868–1912).
