As for the longest in production turbine engine I would say it would be the PT6 series turboprop, first certified in 1963 and still being built in the same basic configuration (for the lower horse power single wheel versions) today.

The Allison (now Rolls Royce) 250 was certified in 1962 and is still produced.
