It's not actually called steel, even though it is. They call it tin. The metal is steel sheet dipped in tin for rustproofing, and the items made from it are tinware. (Which are made by tinsmiths.) Most tinware was large utilitarian goods like pitchers, buckets and dishes. Tinsmiths always had little scraps of metal when they made these. They couldn't afford to waste any metal, so they made small items like tin candle holders. It was also pointed out that steel doesn't melt or burn. True, but it wasn't the biggest concern--many people made candle holders from wood, which can burn.
