Never seen one like it. But it reminds me of a 20s pipe called "The Percolator". It had a special bundled reed filter setup. To me that's what it looks like. Only much longer. Some sort of special filter or condenser rig. Does it even need cleaning? It looks practically unused! Which might give a clue to how well it worked. Looks interesting though.
Try and unscrew the stem counterclockwise. It's probably a push type. But you never know. There might still be something in there. Clean the chamber with alcohol soaked q-tips. Do the rest as you normally would any pipe.

Very interesting! Are there any marks or stampings anywhere on it? I wonder if that stem is filled with baffles in order to lengthen the distance the smoke travels from bowl to button? As xrundog remarked, the pipe looks brand new. An amazing find.
