Baltimore Opera Hat Company

Baltimore Opera Hat Company was a (presumably defunct) company that Charles Montgomery Burns alluded to. It presumably invested in the production and selling Opera hats. Due to Mr. Burns' comment on it being "upcoming", it was likely that, by 1929, it was not formally in business yet.
Mr. Burns, after ordering for investing 50% of his remaining wealth in various Blue-chip companies, then ordered to "sink" the remainder into the "upcoming" company in an attempt at bringing his low wealth back up upon discovering that he may have lost money during the 1929 Stock Market crash. It is heavily implied by Smithers and Burns' accountants' worried expressions upon giving the order after publically agreeing to it out of fear of his wrath that, similar to the "blue-chip" companies, the Baltimore Opera Hat Company was at the very least gone through and gone out of business, if not never been formed to begin with, which ultimately resulted in Mr. Burns losing all his remaining wealth and going broke.
