the prototypes being dated at 1938 and limited production beginning shortly thereafter. I think that probably qualifies it as the longest continuous production piece of hi-fi gear, though it has gone through some revisions. It is clearly the same speaker that it always was though.
The Altec 19 came out around '76 and that was probably the last major stab at it that they made.
JBL has a number of recently introduced speakers with horn loaded tweeters and midranges that are a shot at the state-of-the-art. So there are still new horn based designs coming out. Volti Audio makes a Klipsch inspired line, and Pi has some nice horn loaded speakers. There are any number of horn loaded, limited production, lines coming out of Asia as well.
