I don't think it is possible to say for sure. If I had three items in my hand, and said I had several of them, I'd be telling the truth. If I said I had a few of them, I'd be telling the truth.

All always take several to mean two, and a few to mean three or more.

FEW: 1. consisting of or amounting to only a small number
2. at least some but indeterminately small in number
SEVERAL: an indefinite number more than two and fewer than many
