I see why you ask about the Sunflower bottle. Sorry to say no,however I've seen one someplace can't rember where if I see it againI'll grab it. I think the older Blue Ridge bottles are sporty and you don't see them to often.

There are two different types of the sunflower bottles. The older one has a sunflower on a blue background and then the newer one has the sunflower animated character. Those two Sunflowers share the same design with the first bottle which was at one time a Tip Corporation brand.
That's a great group of bottle caps. I don't think I have found any from Marion yet.

Can't say I have seen any of these in green. I do have one of the Blue Ridge beverages in green though.

I had a hard time finding a clear one as well; however, I lucked out and found a full clear Blue Ridge Beverages and a full Mil-kay, both from Marion, at the abingdon flea market. The only thing is that they have a mountain dew and an orange crush cap from marion on them.
I thought they were recaps; however, the caps are rusty and I wouldn't doubt they have been on there since the 70's at least. The liquid inside seems quite old unlike other recaps that I have seen. It is more likely that they were capped at the plant by mistake or on purpose.
I got both for five bucks each. Couldn't argue with that even if they were recaps. Maybe some day I will find real full bottles like these that have the actual contents in them to compare these to.
BTW there is a small green 7oz Blue Ridge Beverage bottle floating around out there as well. I bought one recently; however, it is in terrible shape.
